Yes, I meant windows organized into multiple virtual desktops, not a
virtual machine. My usual workflow is to use one desktop for web
and e-mail, one for code, one for testing, and one for anything
else.<br>

<p>Can you clarify on what exactly it is that you're looking
for? I believe you're looking for something that switches
around your desktops, similar to having multiple virtual
displays in Linux. On my Windows boxes, I eventually just
bought multiple monitors and KVM switches to see the whole
picture on my multiple physical boxes. I think that's a bit
beyond what most users will do (but it's 100% cross platform!
ha!). I'll post the software I used to use once I can
remember.<br>

<p>If not, then virtualbox, vmware player, ms virtual pc (lol),
etc.<br>

You just have to reconfigure the network from its default to
"Bridged<br>
Adapter" if you want to see the host from outside the box.<br>
